Whats wrong with me!!!

today i was hitting 42" ups to rear on a 90degree wall. then i tried the same height with a slant, and i cant do it. I thought slanted was supposed to be easier. is there a slightly different technique for slanted walls?

Slant won't help you going up to rear. Only thing it does is make you take off a little earlier and go further forward. That extra momentum going forward is taken out of your vertical momentum, which is why you're not going as high. You're wasting energy traveling fowards instead of straight up.

thanks, i worked on hitting lower, and now i can get the height, but i still need much more speed... i can get the 90degree wall with 1.5 pedal rotations... but slanted, i really need to get some speed, and slap the wall hard.
